‘No obstacle except its own will’: Iran urges UN Security Council to act to stop war 

Iran has called on the United Nations Security Council to take decisive action to halt ongoing hostilities in the region, insisting that the only barrier to peace is the council’s own political will, diplomats said. Officials highlighted growing concerns over the escalation of conflict and its impact on regional stability and civilian safety.

Analysts noted that repeated appeals for diplomatic engagement and ceasefire resolutions underscore Tehran’s emphasis on avoiding further bloodshed, as UN deliberations continue amid deep disagreements among member states.

International relations experts and peace advocates have welcomed the call, stressing that proactive engagement by the Security Council is crucial to de-escalating tensions and preventing the situation from spiralling into wider conflict.
